From classic barroom brawls and high speed car chases, to extravagant pirate battles and realistic WWII reenactments, who are the performers who risk their lives to make movies more exciting? Why do they do it? How do they do it? And how can you add that kind of production value to your film without endangering the lives of your cast and crew?

This month we'll hear from a panel of experienced, professional stunt coordinators and stunt performers. We'll learn the tricks of their trade and find out about the elaborate safety precautions they take before every stunt. We'll see demonstrations of simple stunts you can execute in your movies. If you want your movies to have more action than "My Dinner With Andre" and you want that action to look exciting and realistic, you can't afford to miss this month's meeting!
